The 6-3 playmaker averaged 21.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists at Maple Grove High School (MN) this season, leading the team to a 25-5 record and the Minnesota Class 4A state quarterfinals.

“After lots of thought and prayer with my family, I’m very excited to become a Badger,” Davison said via Twitter. “[I’m] thankful for this opportunity.”

Davison said that Wisconsin had been doggedly pursuing him for years.

“I think the thing I liked the most (about UW) is the familiarity,” Davison said to BadgerNation.com. “I have known them since eighth or ninth grade, especially coach [Greg] Gard. They have been stressing how they want me to be the quarterback of their team.”

Davison has had an impressive spring/summer, averaging 17 points and 4.3 assists on 44 percent shooting on threes for Howard Pulley in the Nike EYBL.

“Brad is an all-around outstanding basketball player,” Howard Pulley owner Rene Pulley told the Wisconsin State Journal. “Earlier in his career, there were some people were trying to pigeon-hole him as to what position he was – is he a 1, is he a 2? I just kept telling everybody, ‘He’s a basketball player that can play both positions and play them well.’”

The Huskies beat out the likes of Stanford, Michigan, Butler, Northwestern, Dayton, and Northern Iowa to get Davison.
